I used beancount briefly and went back to Abandon and later ledger-cli within a short period of time. I don’t fully remember why – it was a few years ago now – but I did end up finding a script and writing a build system task that built a beancount file based on my ledger file and launched fava. Fava is the reason to use the beancount ecosystem but there are other ways to get the data necessary to use it!
